The headlights going up and down is usually caused by the relay that is under the rubber boot on the headlight motor. Try replacing the relay.
In case it is not the relay then it can be caused by something binding when the lights are going up or down. Check to make sure they are not rubbing or hitting something during movement.

There was a relay under the dash that was clicking while it was happening, that's why I think it's related to the alarm. The headlites were fine tonight when I reconnected the battery.

You better mean horses...
Seriously though, it would be a cold day in hell before I pay $500 for any hose.

I bet he's talking about the "vacuum manifold underneath the intake. It's over $400 new from Porsche.

Yeah, I know Poudre. I used to live in Loveland, Steve and Zach worked on my last 951. I love those guys, but it's damn far from me. The car is at Peak Eurosport now, the owner, Ernie is a master tech that used to work at Prestige.

He'll finish it up, get it done right, and get it back to me quickly.

Where the hoes at???

I think a tiller would be a better buy than a $500 hoe.
Unless you guys mean someother kind of hoes??
